Sustainability – More Durable with Less Materials and Waste

On a like-for-like basis, Nuyarn Technology uses 30% less raw materials and 73% less energy and outlasts traditional merino garments by up to 8.8x. Nuyarn Technology spins at speeds of up to 250m per minute. This is up to 16.7x faster than the maximum 15m per minute spinning speed of traditional machines common in the industry. This is one of the biggest contributors to our ability to do more with a smaller production footprint, lower energy, and with less raw materials.

Nuyarn is a mechanical process (vs. chemical), and the benefits last for the entire lifetime of the garment.
